Welcome back to the PFF NFL show.

Trevor Sycambe.

Dalton Washton here with you guys for another off-season topic in which we are going to break down the top breakout candidates for every single team in the NFL heading into the 2025 season.

Dalton, I tried to stay away from rookies on this one. I feel like you know,

you did a lot of the, I would say, grunt work for the players that we had to choose from here

that we're going to be talking about here on the show. But, you know, when I sort of looked

at your list and it's like, okay, like either I really agree with that, that's the player that I

would choose or I'm going to bring somebody else to the table. I felt like I didn't want to do rookies. I feel like I might have one in here, if I remember correctly, but ultimately I wanted this to be like year, two, year three, year four guys. Did you operate under the same framework guideline here for this exercise? Yeah, same thing. Try to go with no rookies, right? Wanted somebody who last year didn't immediately break out to become a star if they're going into their second year or just somebody who it seems like is kind of on that upward trajectory, right? So no rookies for me on this list. I think you do have one here towards the very end, but no, no rookies for me here on this list. I wanted guys at least going into year two for this one.

I also, this is the first time that I've done a show with you here where we've got the full coach look.

You know, you're leaning into just the shaved head, just a buzz cut look.

All you need is you need it. Don't blow the whistle on the show because it won't be great for't be great for any podcast listeners but i feel like

you just need a you just need like a whistle around your neck at all times walking around the office

you know if the big man if chris collinsworth sees you he's going to see the the whistle right around

your neck he's he'd be like that guy that guy knows ball absolutely so i feel like that's that's the

next evolution for you is getting

the the whistle at all it it'll it'll be the whistle to blow for just any opinions around me that i don't

like it'll just be it i just don't i just don't want to hear any more of it and that's it you can have

a challenge flag with you you can have the challenge flag i i do i need one in the sock don't i

might have to we'll have to do that. That'll look better.

It'll look better when we're both in studio. If I take a flag out of my sock here and throw it to the side, it'll just be like, what is he doing? But we could do that. We can get a challenge flag, too. We should get an official one. We should ask the league for some official ones. This could be a pretty good bit for the show during the season when any like if I give a take that's out of like

out of control or if the you know the producers do something that's absolutely out of control you

can throw the flag at the camera oh don't don't give it to them because they'll open the door
